2. The cloud computing system of claim 1, wherein the client instance is configured to receive the vulnerability from the third party software provider via a known vulnerabilities database accessible via the communication network.
3. The cloud computing system of claim 2, wherein the known vulnerabilities database is maintained by the third party software provider.
4. The cloud computing system of claim 3, wherein the known vulnerabilities database is part of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures system.
5. The cloud computing system of claim 1, wherein the client instance comprises a configuration management database configured to store the one or more configuration items.
6. The cloud computing system of claim 5, wherein the client instance is configured to receive the one or more configuration items from the configuration management database.
8. The one or more tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 7, wherein the known vulnerabilities database is maintained by the third party software provider.
9. The one or more tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 7, wherein the one or more client devices, the one or more client networks, or both, comprise the one or more configuration items.
10. The one or more tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 7, wherein the machine-readable instructions cause the one or more processors to execute software provided by the third party software provider to scan the one or more configuration items to confirm whether the one or more configuration items have the vulnerability.
11. The one or more tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 7, wherein the machine-readable instructions cause the one or more processors to predict that the one or more configuration items have the vulnerability based on determining that one or more software applications installed on the one or more configuration items have the vulnerability.
13. The method of claim 12, comprising receiving, via the one or more processors, the one or more configuration items from a configuration management database.
14. The method of claim 12, wherein the indication of the vulnerability is received from the third party software provider via a known vulnerabilities database.
15. The method of claim 12, wherein scanning, via the one or more processors, the one or more configuration items to confirm that the one or more configuration items have the vulnerability occurs on a periodic basis.
16. The method of claim 15, comprising generating, via the one or more processors, one or more vulnerable items corresponding to the one or more configuration items that have the vulnerability.
17. The method of claim 16, comprising storing, via the one or more processors, the one or more vulnerable items in a vulnerable items database.
18. The method of claim 16, comprising generating or receiving, via the one or more processors, one or more solutions for the one or more vulnerable items.
19. The method of claim 18, wherein the one or more solutions for the one or more vulnerable items are received from third-party software vendors.
